II. Sample Speech: Discussion on the authenticity of events and characters in the narrative 'Octopus'
The main topic we're discussing today is whether the events and characters portrayed in the narrative 'Octopus' are real or not. Below, I'll present my own viewpoint on this matter. I hope you all pay attention.
An excerpt from 'Octopus' recounts the battle against giant octopuses by Professor Aronnac, assisting Constructor and whale hunter Ned Land. The outcome of the battle sees all the octopuses perishing at the hands of the sailors aboard the ship, while Nemo sheds tears witnessing his compatriots being swallowed by the octopuses.
As you can see, the adventurers' journey and the battle with the giant octopus are fictional tales, born from the author's imagination. However, the entities, events, and people depicted stem from observations of life such as octopuses, islands, archipelagos, various seaweeds, ... in the ocean and the progress of science. Additionally, it reflects the dangers humans face at sea, their courage, and the desire to build modern submarines capable of diving deep underwater. Today, that dream has become a reality and is the precursor to humans unlocking the mysteries lying at the bottom of the ocean. Reading the excerpt from 'Octopus', I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature and admire the author's exceptional talent.
Above are my contributions. I hope you can also provide your own perspectives to make the discussion more lively. I appreciate it.

II. Sample Speech discussing the authenticity of events and characters in the narrative 'Rust'
Hello everyone, my name is Minh Anh. In today's group discussion on the issue: 'some argue that the events and characters depicted in the narrative 'Rust' are not real, while others believe they are real,' I would like to share my thoughts. I hope you all listen carefully to make our discussion productive.
Firstly, the narrative 'Rust' recounts a conversation between a lieutenant colonel and a young sergeant. The sergeant expresses a desire for a life without war. The lieutenant colonel considers the sergeant's idea to be a foolish, fanciful dream. After the sergeant leaves, weapons and war machines gradually disappear. Upon learning of the events, the lieutenant colonel urgently orders the guards to restrain the sergeant by any means necessary upon his arrival.
You can see that the story of a rust-inducing substance rendering guns, airplanes, and tanks non-functional is not real. Those details are constructed based on the author's imagination of a substance capable of destroying weapons and war machines. However, this fantasy story originates from real aspects of life. It reflects the dreams and aspirations of humanity for a peaceful life. Although the short story was written long before humans achieved the remarkable scientific advancements of today, it still holds relevance. At present, the idea of a corrosive compound is not impossible. However, in a world where all countries are striving to bolster their military strength and engage in an arms race, the desire for world peace remains a common aspiration of all mankind.
Those are my thoughts on the matter above. I hope to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
